i agree with everyone of the cerf over office. i own both as well and the cerf is just a great bag, its got plenty of compartments, you can carry it in your hand or over the shoulder, its very comfortable and beautiful too i think

Been lurking the last few weeks and have learned sooooooo much!! bought and sold a few bags after reading so many interesting posts! now, thanks to all you ladies out there, can't decide between these two...the paddington in tan or mulberry in oak. actually, i was going to get the mj tote in pecan but now pining over the "distressed" look

can anyone who has both, tell me if one or the other seems bigger? (although the dimensions seem quite close, they look so different in pictures) i tend to overpack, especially with a baby, and need something that i can just stuff things in...

Also, since you are looking for a big bag, I just bought my mom the Gucci LArge Horsebit Hobo for mother's day and it is huge! There's a new tan color too, which is what I got, but I forget the proper name-- its a little more orange feel to it. Gorgeous tho!

thanks,vintage princess...you read my mind! i tend to like more classic/timeless bags since trends tend to come and go so quickly! i made the mistake of buying so many "it" bags in the last few months and when it came down to using, couldn't find them very practical for my needs.
